What our customer's say!
"pretty good game, but i have a few issues with it.", if you're typically into this kind of game, then DMC 3 is probably a safe bet for you. as for me, i'm more on the fence. i usually like FPS games, but i enjoyed spartan: total warrior a lot. i thought god of war was rather disappointing.
luckily this game is better than god of war. however, it makes some mistakes. first of all, an action game should be all about action, right? don't get me all in a sweat fighting monsters just to make me press start and scroll through menus to take a freaking life thingy so i don't die!!! make it faster, dammit. for that matter, what's with buying life thingys in the first place? why not only be able to buy better moves & guns? (that part is cool) and make the difficulty easier so you don't need extra health? why place more obstacles in the way of action?
also when you die, the screen loading takes too long and you don't get to start again right away. i want to play a game, not wade through cut-scenes i already watched.
now my issues with the action.. the picture is too small and by that i mean, it's too easy for dante and the enemy(ies) to not be shown in the same damn screen!! sometimes i'm shooting at enemies i can't even see! what's up with that? it would be so much better if you could see what you're doing at all times. also all the different moves kind of get on my nerves. i don't like having to memorize a lot of moves, not to mention, even when you learn them, they don't always work! you might have to try a move 3 times and it works the third time.
i've never played ninja gaiden, but it seems quiet similar and if it's better than this, i'd like to try it. this game is pretty good but it's not capturing my interest for very long.
"good solid action", The boss fights in the game are really good. Destroying the ice around Cerberus is a lot of fun, along with the strategy of attacking his legs. Attacking his head is also, really awesome. Killing the bats around Nevan is also fun. You see, there's a lot of little fun things like this that make the game so great.
Some of the objectives are extremely hard, such as the ones where you have to destroy everything inside a room within a certain time limit.
The puzzles are pretty fun too. Pick the game up.
"A little bit fun but boring for a while", Just like the title says, the game is a little bit fun but boring after a while. The cut scenes and character movements are gorgeous but it gets boring after awhile. If you don't have the walkthrough, this game is really difficult to beat. Character optimization page is a little bit confusing too.
"Not That Great", This game is highly overrated. There were some fun moments, but other games in this genre are superior. In addition, the game is hard to the point where it's not enjoyable, especially with cheap bosses and lack of precise & timely reactive control to beat them.
Graphics - They are ok and the level design is actually pretty impressive. However, compared to God of War and Ninja Gaiden Black, it falls short. Cut scenes are acceptable, but dated- especially comparing to PS2-only titles like God of War and Metal Gear Solid 3. The voice-acting is exceptionally difficult to listen through.
Sound - Sound effects are good, but cheesy heavy metal score is 1980s corny. Again, God of War stomps on DMC3 in this area.
Gameplay -This is where the game is the most dissappointing. Although God of War was easy, there were reasons for that - one of which were controls that were tight. Let's not even bring Ninja Gaiden Black into the equation. NGB was super hard as well, but the controls were extremely tight. I recently played NGB again to make sure I was comparing fairly to DMC3 and I validated the fact that DMC3 is stupid-hard because the controls are not tight enough. NGB steps on DMC3 in this area. Simple examples of where DMC3 falls short is not being able to roll out of the way-forward or back, but only side to side. This has a huge negative impact later in the game when you are trying to get of the way of cheap bosses. Instead of rolling out of the way you jump up right in the way of one of their huge cheap life-stealing strikes. Another dissapointing issue is there is no blocking functionality, again just plain cheap. Ironically, the non-boss characters are over-the-top easy in DMC3. There is no real balance to the game.
Overall: I recommed renting the game, it is at least worth that, but I wouldn't recommend purchasing it unless you had a lot of time on you hand to get over the steep learning curve to beat bosses later in the game and also the patience to deal with the lack of control that has a negative impact later in the game.
"Virgil Joins In", In Devil May Cry 3 SPECIAL EDITION, you have the oppurtunity to play with another main character, Virgil, the "evil" twin brother of Dante. The previous installement of the Devil May Cry series offered 85% of all the content in this special edition. Simply put, if you have the previous Devil May Cry 3, it's probably not a very good idea to purchase this greatest hit edition, because it does not add enough to make the game so much more enjoyable. Yes, throwing in a special character was a pretty interesting twist, and those who are tired of the old hero will like battling it out with another character through the other view of the Good VS. Evil plotline, but because the mechanics of this new character are extremely similar, most will grow bored of this semi-dante copy quickly.
Other little features in this game such as the few new items for Dante and the unlockable videos, pictures and such aren't too important. So if one would like to experience something new in this edition of Devil May Cry 3, they're out of luck. However, if you do not own the original Devil May Cry 3, this is definetly the version for you. The price is almost the same, and you'll be getting a bit more, anyway. Regardless, the gameplay, sound, graphics, story, and value of the game hasn't changed. It's still boasts great visuals, intruiging plotline, and the fun, fast gameplay the previous game offered.
Bottomline.
Graphics: Capcom has always worked hard to make their games look magnificent, and this is no exception.
Gameplay: As said, fast, action packed, just really fun stuff here. Alot of veriety.
Sound: Sountrack is hardcore, and fits the game perfectly. However, it is slightly repetitive. The voice overs are great too, as always.
Story: You'll be interesting in this game because of its great plotline. While it is slightly cliche with its "battle of demons" type theme, its quite entertaining none the less.
Lasting Appeal: If you played and completed the previous game, this will only keep you occupied for another 10 or so hours, just to see how it's like with the new playable character. But because it's all so similar, you'll stash it away somewhere quite quickly. Newcomers will love this game, however.

"Warning for those who have never played DMC3...", Devil May Cry 3 is without a doubt one of the most difficult games I've played in my career of gaming. It's not disc-destroying difficult, but it definitely will cause you to cough up a lot of cash for controllers. The GH edition isn't as difficult as the original, due to the unlimited continues, but it's still hard in its own right. You can also play as Vergil, unlock the new Very Hard mode, and fight a new boss, who isn't really that great (so easy compared to the other bosses). Overall, buy this game if you want to destroy some controllers.
"Great game, but difficult.", Great game! In my personal opinion not as good as the second Devil May Cry game, but still great. If you are a fan of the series, you should already have this. If you are interested in the series, this game is the place to start.
My only concern about the game is its difficulty, it will take a set of fast hands and some good skills to get anywhere in this game. I personaly rate myself as a decent player of games like this, and I couldn't get past the first boss.
Another good thing about this game is the soundtrack, few games have a soundtrack to compare.
"Awesome game ,the hardest one i've ever seen !", At first , I wasn't sure about wether I should buy this game , because I thought it's just a boring hack n' slash game. But this game is nothing like that. It has lots of amazing action, and enough exploring and puzzle elements that render it an action adventure game , rather than a hack n' slash game.
The storyline in this game is based around Dante trying to kill his evil twin brother , Vergil. A gigantic dark tower appears right near Dante's house , and Vergil is on top of it. He has some sort of sinister plan that has to do with the tower and Dante must stop him , but I won't say what it is so I won't spoil it for you.
The game itself has some really amazing cutscenes .....in fact , they're probably the best cutscenes I have ever seen in a video game. They have great graphics, and they contain lots of action. you'd think that you're watching a movie !
Now on to the gameplay itself . This game is the hardest game I have ever played. I'm not exaggerating. Once you lose , you have to start from the beginning of the level , unless you buy a certain item in the game that prevents that, and once you use it , you have to buy a new one , since it's not permanent. Also , the enemies and bosses in this game are EXTREMELY hard. They're all very cool , but also extremely tough , especially the bosses (which are, by the way , some of the greatest bosses i've seen in a videogame.) You'll probably break your controller more than a few times out of anger as you keep losing. I , personally , really loved the hardness in this game , as i really like tough games. However , some people might see it as a problem, so it's not very recommended to those type of people. But when you finish these hard parts in the game , it gives you a great sense of completion, and not all games do that.
The combat system in this game is also great. You have 4 fighting styles in this game(you can also get 2 extra ones later) , that give much variety to the combat in the game,and every one of them grants you some special abilities. They are :
1.Trickster- this style lets you dodge enemy attacks much easier than you normally do. You can do things like running on walls , dashing to the sides , etc.
2.swordmaster- this enhances your ability to use melee weapons. You can do things like throw your sword at enemies, stab them with it in lightening-fast speeds, and so on. This is also my favorite style.
3.Gunslinger-enhances your ability to use guns . You can do things like shoot your guns in two different directions, spin your shotgun around like a nunchuk an dfire it , etc.
4.Royalguard-lets you block enemy attacks , and then release them back at them by punching them with all the energy you build up in you from their attacks.
So as you can see, there is much variety to the fighting. You can pull off some amazing combos, not to mention you have many weapons , melee and long ranged alike. some of your melee weapons are a regular sword that you start out with , a pair of nunchuks with ice-powers, an electric guitar that lets you summon bats and electricity, and more. your ranged weapons will include a pair of handguns with a rapid rate of fire , a shotgun , a bazooka , and two others. Also , if you keep using a certain style , it'll eventually level up, giving you access to even more coll combos. Not to mention that you get red orbs from enemies that defeat, which can be used as money , and you can buy different items with it , enhance your guns , and buy new attacks for your weapons.
All of these attributes combine to form an awesome game , that should not be missed.
"This Game Is Not That Hard!!!", Oh man, I was saddened by the reviews posted that kept whining about how this game is too hard,(Which was most of them). It's not that hard. I think what the problem is, is that the majority of games nowadays, compared to games on oldschool systems like the NES are getting too easy. So when a game comes out that is even at all challenging - Ninja Gaiden, Devil May Cry 3 - people start freakin out. I do admit this game is a bit challenging, but I was never on the verge of throwing my controller at the t.v, as some of the reviewers were saying. Once you learn the bosses patterns - which doesn't take too long - they're pretty easy. Games like this are immensely satisfying for players because when you beat them, you actually feel like you've accomplished something. Also, you feel totally badass when you see that SSS flashing on your screen during a huge combo. If you think this game is too hard, you should try Ninja Gaiden I and II on the NES (Two of the best games EVER!!!). After you do that, then try to complain about this game being too hard.
"TOO HARD AND UNBALANCED TO ENJOY.......", YES THIS GAME WILL TAKE THE LIFE OUT OF YOU...ITS SO HARD THAT TO A POINT IT GETS BORING....BASICALLY , YOU SPENT HOURS AND HOURS TRYING TO BEAT EACH LEVEL, THAT BY THE WAY ARE VERY HARD, VERY SHORT, WITH LOTS OF ENEMIES AND A HUGE UNMERCIFUL BOSS THATS WILLING TO TEAR YOU TO SHREADS...( YES IM TALKING ABOUT THAT CERBERUS ICE DOGGY AT THE BEGINING)....I THINK THAT GAMES SHOULD GO FROM EASY-TO MEDIUM-TO HARD AS YOU PROGRESS THRU IT...NOT FROM STAGE 1!!!! ALSO DANTE ACTS VERY STUPID!! YES I KNOW HES SUPPOSED TO BE A TEENAGER ON THIS ONE, BUT STILL TO IMMATURE FOR THE TASK HE NEEDED TO ACCOMPLISH.....LIKE FOR EXAMPLE HE WAS ALWAYS MAKING JOKES WITH THE DEMON SOLDIERS AND CALLING THEM NAMES, AND USING THEM AS A SKATEBOARD AND SWINGING FROM STRIP-POLES SCREAMING WOOOOOOOO!!!!! THATS JUST PLAIN STUPID CONSIDERING HES THE SON OF SPARDA..I THOUGH DEMON-KNIGHTS HAD MORE SERIOUSNESS TO THE JOB.....SHAME ON THIS SEQUEL AND DEFINITELY NOT DEVIL MAY CRY 1......
